Ten Day Forecast - Talking to You

Friday
Thirteen years of quiet conversations
Contemplating meaning behind backward glances nervous laughs and chatter
Well, it really culminates into scarce but vicious need to wonder
If I even matter to you, that is
I'm not good with words
But it's been weird being so distant so I thought that I would text you
Just to catch up, you know? (Yup)
Tell me how you've been
And then we talked until the sunlight broke
The thirteen years were over

On Saturday night we stayed up laughing till we numbed
We didn't think we only talked till years of silence came undone
But all the little glimmers I had carried in my mind began to creep into each sentence
And I watched your eyes decline
The truth it seemed was all the things you said
Could not begin to match the scope of all the chaos that was happening in your head
So all the years I thought that you were fine were times I could've reached the life behind the silence
And only now I've started trying

Sunday
The glass facade you tried to build began to break into a million little fragments
Till it shattered and you felt it
You felt it pouring down like rain and saddened truths began to scatter
Until nothing but your broken heart remained
And me
You put your trust in me
And so I listened to the pitter patter of the broken pieces till I cried
But as the tears fall from the sky
I'm wondering why on earth I can't put forth the words that I'm screaming in my mind

You're not alone in this fucking mess of a life
We're not on our own, we're just here for the rest of the ride
I don't know how
I'd like to say I'm sorry
I'm trying hard to be true
What I'd like to say is
I wish that I could talk to you

Monday
You walked beside me down the halls
I couldn't find it in my chest to open up and speak my heart so you could hear me
(Wait, what?)
Sorry, didn't see you there
I'm trying really hard to keep my feelings something less than I can see
But really
Compensating for my lack of speech I ask a simple question only to receive a simple answer
(Yeah)
Where do I begin?
I reached inside my mind and tried to find the words and we were silent once again

When Tuesday comes I think naively that today might be the day the silence breaks
(Silence breaks)
But like the strings on a guitar
The player pulled a bit too hard
And you began to feel the tension of that weight

On Wednesday I dreamed that the Earth was a machine
And at the simple pull of a lever I could make your problems better
Go back to normal
I mean whatever normal means to you
Just please come on and tell me it's okay but by Thursday you were gone

I'm all alone in this fucking mess of a life
I'm on my own
Trying to set the pieces right
I don't know how
I'd like to say I'm sorry
For all the times I couldn't be true
Life is temporary
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
